On the Lie nilpotency index of modular group algebras

Rings and Algebras 2020-07-29 v1

Abstract

Let KGKG be the modular group algebra of an arbitrary group GG over a field KK of characteristic p>0p>0. It is seen that if KGKG is Lie nilpotent, then its lower as well as upper Lie nilpotency index is at least p+1p+1. The classification of group algebras KGKG with upper Lie nilpotency index tL(KG)t^{L}(KG) upto 9p79p-7 have already been determined. In this paper, we classify the modular group algebra KGKG for which the upper Lie nilpotency index is 10p810p-8.
